Juan Carlos Reveco is Also Clipped of Title By The WBA

By Hilmar Rojas

As BoxingScene.com previously reported, the WBA's World Championship Committee has taken away the status of "super champion" from bantamweight Anselmo "Chemito" Moreno, and made him a "champion in recess" until the boxer resolves an ongoing legal situation in Panama with his former manager Dr. Roberto Grimaldo.

Chemito was not the only boxer to receive a drop in status. Juan Carlos Reveco, the WBA's interim-champion at flyweight, has been stripped of his status and also received the label of "champion in recess." Like Moreno, Reveco is going through a legal situation with his manager Osvaldo Rivero. Reveco must resolve the issue before receiving his championship status back.
